Apache IvyDE

What do you like best?

One of my favorite things about the Apache Ivy is its integration into Eclipse. It makes my job of managing dependencies so clear. It IVY XML file editing wizard is by far the best part of the whole tool. I also like its integration with WTP.

What do you dislike?

Interface could be a bit more polished, but it's highly effective at what it's built for which is working through dependencies and its conflicts across a variety of projects and attributes. I also dislike some of the bugs it has, but I believe that their logs definitely help.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Don't expect flashiness, but know you'll get all the bells and whistles needed to execute your java eclipse projects or any other dependency management projects. It includes many features that other tools aren't able to achieve, in addition, the integrations are solid.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Apache IvyDE allows me to save time managing all of my projects which require dependency management, it provides all of the tools needed to make any edits necessary in addition to debugging.
